Kvina is a river in Southern Norway. The 152-kilometre (94 mi) long river begins in the Setesdalsheiene mountains in the municipality of Valle in Agder county and it flows south, along the former Aust-Agder and Vest-Agder county border, through the Kvinesdalen valley, and emptying into the Fedafjorden, just south of Liknes in Kvinesdal municipality. The river has a 1,452.43-square-kilometre (560.79 sq mi) watershed. The river is rich in fish. In 2014, about 1.02 tonnes (1.00 long ton; 1.12 short tons) of salmon was caught in the river Kvina.[1] The river runs through the villages of Netland, Storekvina, and Liknes.
